It works good enough but it's outdated. There is a glitch where if you receive a call you can't close the notification pop-up without closing the video window with no way to get it back without ending the call and starting a new one. A new version is coming out at some point, but the new version has been in Alpha since July 2016 (it's February 2017 as I write this). Still, highly recommended if you need Skype under Linux. Just don't expect a version as highly polished as the Windows version.
